BFA
Printmaking
Discover the power of printmaking.
Endless Possibilities
Printmaking is a forward-looking discipline with numerous intersections both within the contemporary art world and across local and global communities.
You’ll learn print processes as a mode of individual expression and as a medium of communication for social movements.
Through a strong grounding in traditional and expanded printmaking, you’ll learn the possibilities and limitations of various materials and processes such as woodcuts, screenprinting, intaglio, lithography, digital media, animation, installations, and book arts.
The curriculum prepares you to take on the challenge of engaging ideas in your work as you become experts in your specific practice and transform from students to arts professionals.
We empower you to push the boundaries of the medium by redefining what a print means—as artists, printmakers, future educators, and soon-to-be-arts entrepreneurs who play a significant role in shaping the future of art.
“Through printmaking, we offer our students a new lens through which they can experience the world around them, engaging them to look at color, texture, material, and multiplicity in new and exciting perspectives.” — Amanda J. Thackray
